BRAY LEGIIORNS LOOKING over the Canadian poultry...situation, wesemetimess wonder whether White Leghorns are "getting the break" they' de- serve. They're thrifty, they live well, and they...certainly shell out the eggs. Since they're smaller and naturally more active than . most ,heavier breeds, you can put more Leghorns into a , given space than the bigger lirds. Sortie qf .our biggest markets give a. preference ,tobite eggs . . . 'some even.pay premiums for them.. And we knowpoultry authorities: who claim that you can raise Leghorn§ cheaper and get mere eggs for your feed., . YES --:--WE HAVE 'EM From all this you may gather 'that we, have White Leghorn chicks to sell., That's right—we have! Mind you, we're not knocking other breeds—we pro- duce a lot of chicks of other breeds, too. But with eggs in such strong demand forhome and oVerseas, and this new ,floor price firmly underneath the egg market, we feel this old reliable •egg manufacturer,' the White • Leghorn, deserves more atten- tion than it has been getting, recently. COCKERELS, TOO • ,Many people turn up their noses at White Leghorn. Cockerels.' But White Leghorn cockerels are no slouehps for broilers and fryers.
